Copula (probability theory)

In probability theory, a copula is a type of mathematical model that helps us to better understand the relationship between different variables (like height and weight). A copula gives us a way to look at how two or more variables are related to each other. For example, if we wanted to know the probability of a person being both tall and heavy, we could use a copula to figure this out. This helps us to make better decisions about how to use these different variables to make predictions or decisions.
